Mixed Emotions

I know I know... it's been a month since an update but I'm assuming most people don't even read this anymore since I came home. so THERE. Also, I'm sorry for saying that cause it's almost the lamest thing ever to read in people's blogs or livejournals or xangas or whatever.
So yeah, I'm in a weird mood right now. On the one hand, I'm elated because it's friday, because I get to go get tipsy w/ faculty (faculty cocktail hour), and most importantly: because Alex and Glen are coming to visit!!!!!!! YAY! And this time for sure because they are actually en route as I type! So much excitement. Also, my room is awesome (come visit me!) although it still needs some work. In a bit I'm going to get the rest of the stuff out of the middle of my floor and vacuum the rug. Par-tay. Cept it's all good cause I'm listening to Sportfreunde Stiller and feeling energetic ;-). don't worry, you don't know them. They're German.
But all of this is playing against the imminent death of the Pope. Sadness. But even that is tempered by the fact that I feel happy for him to move onto the next part of his life. Am I evil? It's not that I want people to die... it's just when I see them miserable I can't help but to think it would be better for them to die. Especially in cases such as the Pope where he has lived his whole life well and to its fullest. In any case, it will be very interesting to see what happens in the following hours, days, weeks.
In other news, classes are back in swing. I did quite well winter quarter so I hope to continue the raising of the GPA. I could even potentially apply for honors in german! (not sure about it yet, though)
Jetzt, to clean and shower and get ready for the weekend!
